Data types and structures

Understanding basic data types in R

R has 6 (although we will not discuss the raw class for this workshop) data types.

  • character: "a", "swc"
  • numeric: 2, 15.5
  • integer: 2L (the L tells R to store this as an integer)
  • logical: TRUE, FALSE
  • complex: 1+4i (complex numbers with real and imaginary parts)

Slide With Python

x = 'hello, python world!'
print(x.split(' '))

['hello,', 'python', 'world!']

Slide With c
